Friendlies: Toro thank Di Michele Thursday 26 July, 2007

David Di Michele is making waves at new club Torino with a brace in their 3-0 friendly win over Greek outfit Larissa.

The former Palermo striker is one of the main summer signings for the side now coached by Walter Novellino.

Di Michele opened the scoring after just five minutes this evening and struck again after the break with the aid of a deflection from Kotsios.

Sasa Bjelanovic nodded Eugenio Corini’s cross on to the upright before Roberto Stellone sealed the 3-0 scoreline with a free kick.

Of the starting XI fielded against Larissa, only Nikola Lazetic, captain Gianluca Comotto, Marco Di Loreto and Simone Barone were in the squad last season.

This evening it was announced that Toro forward Elvis Abbruscato has been sold to Serie B club Lecce in a co-ownership deal.

They also unveiled their new team strip for 2007-08. The away shirt is white with a Granata strip across the chest, while the third choice strip has orange and black horizontal stripes.

Torino’s next friendly test is on Sunday against Treviso.
